The Alan R. Barton Nuclear Plant was a proposed commercial nuclear power plant in central Alabama, United States.
Proposed plant[edit]
Alabama Power Company proposed constructing four 1,159 MWe General Electric Boiling Water Reactors at the site approximately 15 miles southeast of Clanton, Alabama.[1] 32°45′N 86°24′W / 32.750°N 86.400°W [2]
The proposed plant was named after Alabama Power Company Senior Vice President Alan R. Barton.[3]
The proposed plant was identified by the acronym ABNP in Nuclear Regulatory Commission correspondence. [4]
1970s cancellation[edit]
Barton 3 & 4 were canceled in 1975 while under 10CFR50 Construction Permit (CP) review. Two years later, Barton 1 & 2 were canceled during the CP review process as well.[1]
Reactor data[edit]
The nuclear power plant was to have had four units:
| Unit | Reactor type |
Net capacity |
